Mixtape: Yung GooD

Bedda Made and Eastside (Detroit) representer, Yung GooD released a new mixtape a few weeks ago. E2P (Everything 2 Prove) 1.5: Things 2 Do dropped on Black Friday and was mixed by Mr. C.E.O. and DJ Rockin'. 21 tracks and 3 skits make up this E2P addition.
It includes the appearance of some local faves like J. Fin and Earlly Mac and some bars over known tracks like "Maybach Music" and "Run This Town".
This mixtape is something like a buzz keeper. GooD dropped Everything 2 Prove a while ago and is currently working on his next joint 'Show N Prove' which should be dropping sometime in the beginning of 2010.

My Thoughts: I can NOT figure out who he sounds like. Not delivery or lyric wise, but I really mean voice wise. There is a rapper out there that Yung GooD's voice reminds me of and I can't think of it.

Moving on, I rock with Yung GooD, he's an energetic rapper and that definitely shows through his songs.

What caught me off guard (in a good way) was "A Letter to Dream." The fast-paced mixtape of the mixtape comes to a screeching halt when this track comes on. If you want a good sense of who GooD is or his lyrical style this is the track that answers those for you.

I actually think GooD saved everything for the end. "Thanks in Advance" is the track after "A Letter to Dream" and is just as different from everything else on the mixtape as the track preceding it.

The only criticism I have is that there are a lot of the tracks are done to the beats of other songs (personal annoyance).

Overall the mixtape is kind of anxious and GooD's energy shows through every track from "Transformer" to "Get Like Me." GooD is strong lyrically and while his voice may remind me of someone else, his delivery doesn't.
